IN MEMORY
We remember with love and gratitude our faithful brother in Christ and Chancel Choir member, Bob Wallace, who passed away last weekend. Bob’s dedication to our music ministry, our church family, and his joyful service to the Lord blessed our congregation for many years.
In honor of his life and legacy, an empty chair holding a single rose sits at the altar — a quiet tribute to Bob’s presence among us and the music he shared so faithfully.
If you have been visiting with us, we would love to be able to connect with you!
Please take a Visitor’s Card from the pew, complete it, and place it in the offering plate.
Thank you for worshiping with us!
